The PGA Tour has wound past its regular season and into the FedEx Cup playoffs, with the Fall Series coming up soon to close out the 2012 schedule. Express-News staff writer Richard Oliver takes a look at the tour standing of the three players who have San Antonio-area ties:

Rankings: Did not qualify for FedEx Cup playoffs. Ranks 646th in world.

His season: Former Texas Lutheran standout has endured his worst earnings campaign since 1999. After finishing his two-year exemption earned for capturing the Mayakoba Golf Classic in 2010, Beckman currently does not hold full-time status on tour for next season.

After failing to post a top-10 finish in any event in 2011 for the first time in 11 years, Beckman collected only one top-25 performance in 22 events this year, missing 11 cuts. The culprits this time around were his putting, where he ranked 143rd on tour, and his final rounds, where he ranked 187th with a 74.2 average.

Beckman likely will play some Fall Series events in order to try to push his money ranking into the top 150 and earn at least conditional status for the 2013 schedule. He’ll also have some limited status, thanks to being a past champion. His other alternative is to again play Qualifying School to earn an exemption.

His season: After earning status on the PGA Tour this season with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tour a year ago, Flores made the most of it. The former Clark High School player posted two top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour after playing in only two events at that level in 2011. His ranking inside the top 125 in money earnings has secured him a full-time exemption for next season.

The former All-Big 12 player at Oklahoma, who left Clark to become an All-American at Mansfield, reached the second round of the FedEx Cup postseason for the first time.

Top finishes: Tied for fourth at Northern Trust Open in February and Wyndham Championship in August, tied for eighth at Farmers Insurance Open in January.

Rankings: 46th in FedEx Cup points, with 998. Ranks 105th in world.

His season: For the second straight year, Walker has advanced to the third round of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He has established personal bests this season for money list ranking, Cup points ranking (46) and cuts made (19), and matched his highs for top 10s (four) and top 25s (seven).

Playing despite a partially torn meniscus in his left knee, the one-time Baylor standout was the leader at the Wyndham Championship last month after shooting a second-round 62.
